1. A method [300] for automatically optimising at least one cell parameter of at least one serving base station [102] for serving at least one coverage hole [120], the method [300] comprising:
receiving at least one first parameter, at least one second parameter, at least one network performance parameter, and the at least one cell parameter of the at least one serving base station [102], wherein the at least one serving base station [102] serves a coverage area [110] comprising a plurality of sectors, wherein the at least one second parameter comprises at least one of a RF coverage power (RSRP) and a Signal-to-Interference Noise Ratio (SINR);
assigning a weight to each of the plurality of sectors of the coverage area [110], wherein the weight is assigned based on the at least one network performance parameter of each of the plurality of the sectors;
identifying the at least one coverage hole [120] from the coverage area [110] served by the at least one serving base station [102], wherein:
the at least one coverage hole [120] is identified based on the weight assigned to each of the plurality of sectors and the at least one network performance parameter of the coverage area [110], and
the at least one coverage hole [120] is insufficiently served by the at least one serving base station [102];
determining a current value of the at least one second parameter of the at least one serving base station [102], wherein the current value is determined for the at least one coverage hole [120];
defining a target value of the at least one second parameter of the at least one serving base station [102] based on the current value of the at least one second parameter, wherein, based on the target value and the current value of the at least one second parameter, a level of optimization of the at least one cell parameter is determined;
upon the determination of the level of optimization, performing a first optimization of the at least one cell parameter of the at least one serving base station [102] for serving the at least one coverage hole [120], wherein the first optimization is performed based on the current value and the at least one network performance parameter;
determining a first value of the at least one second parameter of the at least one serving base station [102] in an event the first optimization is performed;
generating an optimization status of the first optimization based on a comparison of the first value and the target value of the at least one second parameter, wherein the optimization status indicates one of a successful optimization and an un-successful optimization; and
performing a second optimization of the at least one cell parameter of the at least one serving base station [102] for serving the at least one coverage hole [120], wherein the second optimization is performed in an event the optimization status indicates the un-successful optimization.
